Why Laura Lost Her Beau.
Laura once had an affiuent beau,
Who called twice fortnight or so,
Now she sits, Sunday eve,
m 40.
Oh, where is her recreant beau,
A IA xuhx, dfd ha taaua Laura aOr

Oh, where is her recreant beau,
And why did he leave Laura so?
Why, he saw that Laura was Ian
gushing, delicate girl, subject to sick
headaches, sensitive nerves and uncer-
tain tempers; and knowing what a life
long trial is a fretful, sickly wife, he
transferred his attentions 10 her cheer
full, healthy cousin, Ellen. The secret
IS that Laura's health and strength are
sapped by chrome weakness. peculiar to
her sex, which Ellen averts and avoids
by the use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. This is the only remedy, for
woman's peculiar weaknesses and all
ments, sold by druggists, under posi-
tive guarantee from the manufacturers,
that it will give satisfaction in every case
or money will be refunded. See guar

"A young man who had left his home
ruddy and rigorous, was seized with the
typhoid fever in Cherokee, Ia, and
though nursed with devoted care by his
kind mother he died. When the coffir
was closed "Stop," said his kind parent
Let me kiss him as as a mother
Ere we lay him with the dead,
Far away from home another
Shame may kiss him in her stead.
How that mothers lips would kiss him
Till her heart should nearly break,
How in days to come Wen miss him.
Let me kiss him for our sake.
Let me kiss him as mother,
Let me kiss the wandering boy;

Left behind to give her JOY.
Thank the god who made We human;
Gave ye plying tears to shed,
Honor We, the Christian mother
Bending DER her boy that's dead.

Skipped by the Light of the Moon.
On next Friday evening, the 4th inst,
Fowler & Warmlngton's company of
comedians are to appear at the Opera
House in that funniest of comical come
dies, Skipped by the. Light of the
Moon" play that has for the past sea-
son filed the largest theatres in all the
principal cities of America, from New
York to San Francisco, creatinga perfect
Juror wherever it has been presented.
OF this famous comedy the Ner York
Journal says:
"'Skipped by the Light of the Moon,
made an enormous success last night at
the Fifth Avenue Theater. We have
never had anything so out of the COM
mon rut of comedy; the laughter begins
two minutes after the curtain rises, and
does not stop until it falls upon the third
and last act. 1t is the sort OF production
that all New York will rush to see, and
the theater may feel certain of business
such as it hes only known once before
this season. Skipped by the Light of
the Moon will simply last as long as
there is laugh left in New York. 1t
eclipses all former funny plays seen in
this city for wears"

Gen. Chas. J. Paines new steel SLOPPY acht, the
Volunteer, was successfully launched at 6:45 last
evening from the Pussy Jones yard, in Whining
ton, Del At 6:27, everything being In readiness,

hammers. There was a short halt about 6:35 10

extended fore and aft from the huh TO the ground
The hammering OF the wedges was then ne.
sumed, and precisely at 6:45 the yacht glided

Edward Burgess OF Boston, her designer, and
fairman Rogers OF philadelphia, besides several
local guests OF the occasion There were no formal
christening ceremonies, and the usual bottle OF
wine was not broken. Mr.. Burgess, however. an
nounced that the new yacht would be known as
volunteer" He also said the yacht was satisfac-
tory SO far as the construction and appearance
We're concerned Her sailing qualities OF course
could only be determined by actual trial after she
was rugged. He further remarked that the Nelun-
teer would sail in the New York Club race August

showed how the children, whose education was
neglected as they grew into manhood would nat
uraly gravitate into the Knights OF Labor tllit-

many OF the knights Is what causes much OF the

Give the Workers a Chance to Sprinkle.
To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
THE STAR stated several days ago that The Dis
trict Commissioners were about to issue an order
restricting the Use of streetsprinklers to the half
hour from to $3.50 pm. / have not seen it men
toned anywhere that such order had been issued
About O'Clock last evening policeman appeared
in my nelghborhOod and stopped all my neighbors
from using the sprtnklerS. He said his lieutenant
had read an order directing them to prevent the
use OF streetsprinklers at all times except from
to $3.50 pm. 1t is quite evident that the Commits
sioners did not let a thought OF the wOrkingman
enter their minds when they issued such an order
How can man who works until q O'Clock and
does not reach home until 80. or after use the
sprinklers? Half an hour Is long enough, but the
time does not suit. Let the Commissioners revise
their order and give the workingman a chance.
